The Semmering railway (German: Semmeringbahn) in Austria, which starts at Gloggnitz and leads over the Semmering to Mürzzuschlag, was the first mountain railway in Europe built with a standard gauge track. It is commonly referred to as the world's first true mountain railway, given the very difficult terrain and the considerable altitude difference that was mastered during its construction. It is still fully functional as a part of the Southern Railway which is operated by the Austrian Federal Railways.Add Semmering Railway and other attractions to your Semmering trip itinerary using our Semmering trip tool.

The scenery isn’t as spectacular as some of the reviews make out although it’s a nice ride out if you’ve nothing better to do.

Small, but great views and experience

It's a beautiful railway, I rode on a stunning autumn day, the view and the colors with the quiet modern train, the viaducts and the tunnels were really relaxing. It's worthy to ride it one time in a life. At Semmering station there is a free little museum.
